So the truth is people are in the right that the stuff shouldn't have been taken down and they should stick with the grace period. It might not make a lot of sense to someone who does take the time to read the text from the lodestone, but this is real life where things demand our attention all over the place. We want to play the game we pay for, and unfortunately in the business of advertising and gaming we have only so many sentences worth of text that people will pay attention to.

No one has been arguing that a grace period similar to the normal tome events shouldn't have been done, though? Most people are stomping their feet and screaming about not knowing because of assumptions and not reading the event page. Rather than take the loss and move on, they're instead trying to blame SE for their own faults in the matter and making demands. That is what people take issue with; and that is what has been repeated ad nauseum for pages on pages by most of us, because - again - people aren't reading.

It is solely on the fault of the user for not paying attention and reading through event notices. No company in the real world can be held accountable for someone simply not doing something. They could have a sign directly in their face at all times about it, and someone still wouldn't read. Just admit to fault, move on, don't make assumptions next time. That's all most of us are saying to these people.

But it always falls on deaf ears because they don't take the time to fully read out responses, dislike someone disagreeing or pointing out their fault in the matter, and resort instead to just screaming more about it. At this point the same arguments and responses have played out dozens of times in this thread and it really serves no real purpose anymore.

Regardless, I'm moving back to lurk status in this thread. Not about to be drawn back into repeating myself and the words of others for another 5 pages, whether by you or others. (Thank you for at least being polite and having a discussion, though! It's appreciated.)

Oh no problem. Honestly this entire final stretch to the next expansion has been kind of a mixed bag. You should see the thread on Bazja with the bike reward. They basically attached it to an achievement that you can only get by winning a scratch off ticket raffle with field records. Normally the FFXIV team has been really good at preventing sunk cost fallacy situations, but the end stretch on this one has been probably one of the worst they've had in years. Eureka was problematic but no where near as bad as Bazja. My own FC barely did it and even then they are only reluctantly doing it due to relic grind.
